No wonder the man was surprised, this matter is really important. You must know that there are not many iron mines in the new dynasty, but they are facing internal and external troubles, and then the iron tools are lost every year, and the situation is really stretched.

Now Shang Shigong told him that there was an iron mine in Wutu Mountain! How could he not be excited? Moreover, the iron ore produced by Shang Shigong is actually of the highest quality, which makes him pay more attention to it! He was not worried that Shang Shigong was telling a lie, because it would not do Shang Shigong the slightest benefit.

What he cares about at this time is, how easy is Shangshigong? How big is the iron ore in Wutu Mountain? And who told him such important news?

Shang Shigong said cautiously: "The news that Xia Guan got did say so, but it was just ...... There are too few trustworthy people in the hands of the lower officials, so they have not yet sent someone to Wutu Mountain to verify the authenticity of this news, so they can only take the liberty of asking for help. ”

The tall and thin man had come to Qingzhou City almost when Shang Shigong succeeded to the prefect of Qingzhou, and he saw everything that happened in the city, so he naturally knew that what Shang Shigong said was true. He also understands that Shang Shigong's subordinates are mixed with ghosts, snakes, and gods, and many people still have masters behind them, and with such important news as iron mines, Shang Shigong naturally doesn't worry about letting them know the truth.

Although the news has not been confirmed, he is still glad that the merchant function told him such important news as soon as possible, instead of hiding it. What he didn't know was that if Shang Shigong hadn't listened to Shang Jinxiu's words, was afraid of the Gu family, and was worried about causing trouble, he wouldn't have told him about it without verification.

Shang Shigong was also helpless, Shang Jinxiu's reminder made him vigilant, and there were indeed few people who could be trusted. He had to make this decision. Although he has made it clear that he doesn't know whether the news is true or not, the words have come out. Another important matter of iron ore is bound to have expectations in the heart of this Patrol Lord.

If you find out that the message is fake. When the Inspector is disappointed, he will inevitably be dissatisfied with him. This time, he was on the risk.

The tall and thin man said: "It is true that the less people know about this matter, the better, you go back, remember, don't tell anyone about this matter, I will personally go to check on Wutu Mountain, if there is really an iron mine, I will report it to Your Majesty." Your Majesty will definitely give you a great credit! ”

He didn't have the intention of monopolizing the credit, if this matter was true, it would be a great achievement, even if the merit of the merchant was removed, it didn't matter. He will not forget that he is loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, and he plays with his heart in front of the emperor, isn't he impatient?

Thinking of Du Yuzhang, he smiled coldly in his heart. Du Yuzhang is smart. is also loyal enough, but unfortunately he is the Du family in the end, so he can't be honest enough with the emperor. Before offering seeds, he robbed the merit of the merchant. He thought he was doing everything he could. But where can you hide from the emperor's eyes?

The emperor deliberately promoted the children of poor families such as Shang Shigong, didn't he just want to share the power of those great families? However, some people just can't see through it! The Du family is quite smart. As for the others, let's see how long they can be arrogant!

But he didn't expect it. Not long after Shang Shigong became the prefect of Qingzhou, he actually got such an important news. Although he was curious about the source of Shang Shigong. But wisely did not ask. It doesn't matter where Shang Shigong learned about it, the most important thing in front of him is to find out whether there is really an iron mine in Wutu Mountain!

Having said this, Shang Shigong was naturally inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he directly said goodbye and left. It's just that when he went out, he held a copy of "Autumn Heart Collection" in his hand, so as not to arouse the suspicion of people with a heart.

After he left, the tall and thin man no longer hesitated, simply cleaned up, and went directly to Wutu Mountain.

He went to explore the iron mine, but he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the boundary of Wutu Mountain, he found that there were people in Wutu Mountain, which should be deserted! Not only people, but also a lot of people!

The alarm bell suddenly sounded in his heart, and what instantly occurred to him was that Shang Shigong deliberately ordered someone to ambush here to take his life?

But he soon dismissed the speculation. He would send news to the imperial capital every day, and once the news was broken, the people in the imperial capital would know that something had happened to him. And he just saw Shang Shigong and something happened, and Shang Shigong will inevitably become the first object of suspicion! As long as Shang Shigong is not a fool, he will not choose such a stupid approach!

With a slight leap of his strength, he jumped up to the treetops, so fast that he could barely see it. After a few silent flights through the treetops, he saw the people who were lying in ambush on the Utu Mountain.

At a glance, he was sure that these people were not officers and soldiers, but a group of outlaws. These people are relatively stout, with fierce eyes and a fierce aura, and they look like they have experienced killing. However, they are less battle-hardened soldiers and more like a bunch of bandits.

At this moment, he heard someone say: "Keep an eye on me carefully, if anyone breaks in, no matter who it is, kill me!" ”

Hearing this, the tall and thin man ruled out the idea that Shang Shigong colluded with bandits to set up an ambush for him, these people were obviously not ambushed here to deal with him, but they didn't want anyone to get close to here.

He instantly thought that these people were afraid that they had already known the news of the iron mine!

Because of this speculation, he had more confidence in the existence of iron mines, but at the same time, he also had murderous intentions towards these people! These people are ambushed here obviously to take Wutu Mountain for themselves, Wutu Mountain is just a barren mountain, what they are trying to do, it is obvious!

A group of outlaws actually dared to steal iron ore, they should be killed!

However, he was not in a hurry, he had to confirm the authenticity of the news first. Even if he had already believed eight or nine points in his heart, he could not rest assured that he had not seen conclusive evidence with his own eyes.

So he deliberately bypassed these people, found an undefended place, and walked up the mountain. As he traveled, he was also looking for clues to the iron ore. Shang Shigong only said that there was an iron mine in Wutu Mountain, but did not say the specific location. Although he was anxious, he could only look for it little by little.

Under this carpet search, he finally found some traces, and finally convinced him that there was indeed an iron ore in Wutu Mountain! It's just that he can't be sure how big this iron ore is, and more professional people have to explore it.

But even so, it was enough to surprise him. Now that the existence of iron ore has been determined, these bandits who covet iron ore naturally cannot stay.

He flicked his fingers to his waist and drew a slender soft sword. The blade is as thin as a cicada's wing, and the edge is extremely sharp, which is forged by a famous master. However, as soon as it was pulled out, the sword reflected a cold light, which was daunting.

It's a sword of killing!

The next moment, the man's figure burst out, like an arrow off the string, and quickly followed the place where there were people. This time, he found that in addition to the place at the foot of the mountain, several places on Wutu Mountain were actually guarded!

Although these bandits are fierce, their kung fu is average, and they can deal with ordinary people or ordinary warriors, but where are the opponents of thin and tall men? But in a few breaths, they didn't even see the appearance of the enemy clearly, and they were all killed by the sword.

Of course, this is just one of them. After the tall and thin man killed someone, he did not leave immediately, but looked at the spot. He was pleasantly surprised by this view.

There's also iron ore here!

He finally understood why these people were guarding this place, apparently to guard the iron mines. The thought of five more such places made the man's breath tighten—could it be that there were iron mines in those places as well?

If so, how big is the whole iron ore mine?

Suppressing the sudden excitement in his heart, the man no longer stayed, but quickly moved to another place. There were also guards there, and he was going to confirm his suspicions now.

Soon, the guards in the remaining five places were all killed by him, and his skills were very strong and strong, and he didn't even give the other party time to react, and naturally no one sent a signal.

And he was sure that iron ore had been found in all six places! Taking a deep breath, the man rushed down the hill again, killing all the bandits below, and then he left the place.

He wants to send the news back to the imperial capital as soon as possible!

After returning to the study, the man entered the secret room. After that, he wrote a secret letter with a special potion. When reading the letter, it is necessary to apply another special potion to make the handwriting visible. If the method is wrong, MeSign will be corrupted, and people will not be able to know the content of MeSign.

The stationery is also a specially made letter paper, which is extremely thin and soft. Crumple the letter into a small ball, but only a little the size of your fingertips, and seal it with a wax pellet. Then he opened the cage on the table, and a bird flew out of it. At first glance, it looks like a sparrow, but if you look closely, it is different from an ordinary sparrow.

Its claws are sharper, its beak is sharper, and its gaze is fiercer. Not only that, but its wings are also slightly larger than those of ordinary sparrows.

As soon as it flew out, it flew onto the man's outstretched palm. The man fed it some fresh meat first, and when it was almost finished, he put the wax pills into its mouth.

Instead of biting down on the wax pill, it opened its mouth wide and carefully hid it in its mouth.

This bird has undergone special training and has a sub-Gu planted in its body. If someone catches or shoots them, they will bite the wax pill in their mouth before they die. As soon as the wax pill shattered, the special letter paper inside was stained with its saliva, and it was immediately destroyed. And once Zi Gu dies, the mother Gu of the imperial capital will sense it, and the people in the imperial capital will naturally know that there is something wrong with the news on the road.

It also flies extremely fast, and once it is released, it will return to the mother Gu and spit out the wax pill in its mouth. After leaving the imperial capital, it will automatically return to its owner, which is very useful.

If you want to be more cautious, it is naturally better for the man to personally send the news back to the imperial capital, but he still has to sit here, the bandits who appeared in Wutu Mountain have already shown that someone has already targeted the iron mine there, how dare he leave at this time?

Not long after he sent the secret letter, Gu Yunhai and Gu Haotian learned that all the people sent to guard Wutu Mountain had been killed. (To be continued......)
